Which one is the best HDD config?

I want the most inexpensive best HDD for personal use. I need it to be small and fast. I have two HDDs researched and I can't figure out which one is better. 3TB internal HDD with enclosure or 4TB portable. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

3TB HDD: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T3GRLY/ref=gn...

Portable HDD: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-Ex...

    The full unit makes the most sense considering pricing ... The hybrid drives mentioned above really aren't a prudent choice for an external drive. The goal of a hybrid drive is to increase performance that wont be of help with an external drive.

    There is a really good Hybrid Hard Drive which is called HDD+SSD Hybrid. do some research about them and you will be satisfied. It's a little more expensive than a regular HDD Mechanical but its a lot faster and works like an SSD.
